In a large saucepan cover the chicken breasts with cold water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a slow simmer and allow to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, depending upon how thick the breasts are. Drain and cool.

Cut the cooled chicken into bite size pieces and put them in a large bowl along with the onion, celery and grapes.

To make the dressing:

In the bowl of a food processor or blender process the garlic, basil and lemon juice until smooth. Add mayonnaise, salt, pepper and sugar; process again to blend. Pour over the chicken and other ingredients; toss and stir gently to coat all ingredients very well.

Arrange lettuce upon 4 serving plates and top each with the basil cream dressed chicken.
